What happened: J.P. Crawford was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion. Chris Bassitt also landed on the 15-day IL due to lower back discomfort. Meanwhile, Josh Naylor continues to provide a spark for the Seattle Mariners.

Why it matters: Losing Crawford disrupts the middle of the Mariners' infield during a crucial stretch of the regular season. Bassitt's absence removes a veteran arm from the rotation as teams jockey for position. Seattle will need its depth players to step up to maintain their recent momentum.

By the numbers: Bassitt has posted a 5.27 ERA across 12 starts this season. Naylor is currently in the first year of his five-year, $92.5 million contract with Seattle.

What to watch: Watch how Seattle reconfigures its middle infield defense in Crawford's absence. Monitor Bassitt's progress as he recovers from his back injury.
